Next Tuesday November 2, the 2010 Melbourne Cup takes centre stage as a field of the finest stayers take to the track at Flemington to contest the 150^th anniversary of the world’s richest handicap.

As well as a bumper race programme, another highly anticipated feature of Melbourne Cup Day this year is the calling and animation of the Greatest Cup Never Run.

Compiled by Racing Victoria’s Chief Handicapper Greg Carpenter, the Greatest Cup Never Run features a 24-horse field of the greatest Melbourne Cup winners throughout history.

Races.com.au published this Legendary Melbourne Cup Field, featuring immortals including Phar Lap, the mighty Makybe Diva, Peter Pan and Think Big back in July so click on the link to view the complete field along with the barrier draw and weights.

Now we are only days away from this sensational showdown between the greatest turf champions of all time as the Greatest Cup Never Run is brought to life.

Run between Races 5 and 6 on Melbourne Cup Day next Tuesday, the Greatest Cup Never Run will be complete with a fictionalised race call, animation and of course a winner!
